We have a 2 year old miniature Dachshund, and we've had her for 6 months now. When we first got her, she would pee (never poop) in the house on occasion, just getting adjusted to the new environment. After about a month, the occasional peeing in the house stopped completely. We decided to breed her with our male miniature Dachshund, and the puppies will be a month old in a couple of days (this is her first litter). She's been doing great with the new puppies!
About a week ago, she started peeing in the house while we are gone (even if it's for only an hour), and peeing and pooping during the night in the same area. We did change her diet to puppy chow while she is nursing, but that has been since the puppies were first born. We give both our dogs plenty of time outside during the day, and we make sure they go out right before bed. Why is she just now starting this? Thanks in advance!

Doxie's are great dogs, BUT they can be very tempermental and normally have a tough time adjusting to change. I had a mini doxie, that when I first got him was great. Never had any accidents or tore anything up at all. When I moved, that was a thing of the past.
